The high quantity and the fact that we are order producing, makes operational downtime not a possibility, so we are very satisfactory with the performance both on cleaning and grading as well as high up time” tells mr. Keld Caspersen, Plant Manager Hasselager & Hørning.

“At our smaller factory in Hørning for mainly rye with 30 tons/hour, we have 2 SKIOLD Damas colour sorter for sorting of ergot fungus, which we have had for 4 years, and we are also very happy with their capacity and speed” ends Mr. Keld Caspersen At the DLG factories, SKIOLD Damas has the following machines represented, Omega, Golfa, Sorla, Sigma, Pulco, Color sorter, uniseed and Kiban.
